The 28-year-old could be in line for a first appearance for England’s 50-over team since last summer when they take on Ireland in Dublin on May 3.
And Vince may feature for his country in a T20 international for the first time in more than a year when Eoin Morgan’s men meet Pakistan at Sophia Gardens in a one-off meeting two days later.
There is still the possibility of the Hampshire skipper making England’s final World Cup squad, though.
